==== Source Code on Bitbucket ====

  * [[https://bitbucket.org/s-macke/quad]]

== Compilation steps ==

To compile the source code the following requirements have to be met: 
  * c++ compiler like g++
  * make
  * lua scripting language V 5.0 or higher

The Linux compilation steps are the following:
  - Download the source code package
  - Extract the archive 
  - Compile: ''cd QUAD && make''
  - Test the package with ''make test''

== Compilation steps for MAC users ==

  * Install the Home Brew package manager
  * brew install gcc@6
  * brew install lua
  * The new c compilers should be at:
  * cd /usr/local/Cellar/gcc@6/6.4.0/bin
  * Download https://bitbucket.org/s-macke/quad Unzip and cd into directory
  * Edit MakeFile:
    The lines
    CC = gcc
    CXX = g++

should point to the binaries in /usr/local/Cellar/gcc@6/6.4.0/bin to use the other compilers.
    CC = /usr/local/Cellar/gcc@6/6.4.0/bin/gcc-6
    CXX = /usr/local/Cellar/gcc@6/6.4.0/bin/g++-6

  * Copy the compiled executable quad somewhere appropriate. You might want to add the directory to your path so you can execute 
  * vim  ~/.bash_profile
    and add the line
    export PATH=“<directory>:$PATH”
where <directory> is the directory
